there are 4 reasons i can see to have the GPL in place of an EULA in that clickwrap screen
1 the installer has a macro that pulls in "license file" and won't do the build if it is not present 2 in the windows world you expect to not read one of those screens so the folks that would buy the "Installing Computer software for Dummies" book would segfault if it did not have one 3 lawyers get jumpy if you don't include some flag on what the terms are 4 the GPL itself has terms that state you need to show (to specify version and if you use the "or later" bit) what the license is
Hey at least with the GPL you don't have to scroll down to section 55.b paragraph 9 sub paragraph 4 to find out that you just sold yourself to the company since you see the version of the GPL in the top half dozen? lines (you didn't btw with the GPL but check your EULAs and then recheck after patches)
dirty as in glow in the dark toys (which from the postings seems about the level of radiation involved) Nuclear = this story Biological = sex Chemical = dust bunnies
what i would like to see is the support center scripts to have a "Caller is a Geek" break point and then either escalate the call or jump down to page 124 of the script.
(note in my last job i actually talked to an Indian person and he said that even if you switch to Indian it doesn't help)
I think if a suit happened then you would get a lower penalty if you had an arguably "effective" set of signs. Now if you didn't post at all then you would get very sued since you didn't make any effort to warn folks of the hazard. I think if you actually locked the door (or have some sort of "Force Field" surrounding the area) you could not be sued.
Please note IANAL so if you need to use this data please consult one in your area.
very easy way to stop service folks from lieing to you 99.99999999% of the time before somebody with a pulse comes on the line you hear those magic words "This call may be monitored or recorded for quality control" all you have to do is 1 get a phone recorder 2 install same 3 call 4 when you start working with a rep then very quickly lay down a few things
A this call is being recorded ON MY END (give the rep an out)
B start the tape and have the rep give you a name and drop the date/time into the recording
C enjoy your upgraded service Please note I AM NOT A LAWYER PLEASE CONSULT ONE BEFORE TRYING THIS (you may also want to set the recorder to send a regular beep tone down the line to prevent the "i didn't understand what he meant" problem)
or how about files that IN CONTEXT are legal but could be considered illegal lets say you have #bignum pictures of your kids plus a few videos
a G^HFreak Squad member fixes your computer and then grabs copies of those pictures and videos the pics spread and TLA does a bust on some candy farm then they deicde to go hunting for more "Suspects" and finds your pictures
if you are willing to pay a bit for an unlocked GSM phone then you can get a sim and then you should not have a contract (oh and btw if you hate the service that much just eat the disconnect fee lets see disconnect charge say $250 24 months in contract @$50 a month break even is at month number 19)
after pulling a reasonable number from the standard location Since 98.99999999% of Dells HOME users would want Windows that line is most likely a CYA type statement in the same line as a conductor/pilot stating "Greetings I am #name# and i will be your #function# today this #transport type# is going to #destination list# if your plans for today do not involve visiting any of these cities/this city Now would be a Grand time to disembark as we will be leaving in #short period of time#"
Now for a Geek or a person that has been given stone tablet instructions by a Geek|Ghod they would most likely blow past that link
also any business big enough for the 2gig images to be a problem should have
1 tech folks that know how to run WAIK and prebuild the image from parts 2 a more or less standard config set (maybe 5 nonserver configs) 3 a keyserver that can dole out keys as needed
so what you would do is Ghost the drive > deploy > lightup and have the disc monkey type in the needed bits (user terminal number ect also the Winkey if you are not big enough) problem solved (okay now you need to deal with VISTA but...)
Umm i don't think retail for a Fisher Space pen has been anywhere near $400 (even if you get a goldplated "millennium pen" direct retail US$130.00) but a Fisher doesn't burn (just about the only thing that isn't metal on them is the ink) you can in fact buy the same pen used in space http://www.spacepen.com/Public/Products/AstronautP en/index.cfm
not to be a bother but a good chunk of the transceiver is completely different (and btw the programming is also different) now it is possible to have a hybrid phone (gsm/cdma or cdma/iden or gsm/iden) but then things get NASTY.
what they probably did was use a sim card with a nonstandard preload image (sim cards can have very different amounts of memory and different serial numbers)
of course "button" may just be a tiny area on the card that has a make/break zone (think a pair of traces that overlap but dont connect). maybe even a momentary connect would be needed (so you hit the button and then release to trigger)
the other thing that i wish would get fixed is how they define "unlimited" what that should mean is if i get a 1.5 mbps downline i should be able to download (assumes i peg my connect) in one week 907200 megabits or 90720 mega bytes (90gigs). anything that is not a goodly fraction of this number is not unlimited.
If an ISP is going to cut off or otherwise impair a connection after a certain amount of transfer over a period of time then this info should be published in simple terms as part of the first page of the AUP (i would suggest a format of percent of line cap averaged over period example 60%/week)
I also would like the pipe folks to stay away from business between me and a third party.
hey Bill and Steve
The Open Source Community would like you to within the next 30 days in detail list those 235 patents a suggested Format Patent Number || Source file of Violation (or subsystem(s)) || date of first appearance
please don't pull a TSCOG on this no bleep cases no Mogging around number source date
Umm you do know that high end computers have this habit of being water cooled? Google will need to buy or build a water source for just that reason and i would bet that if they did build it 1 the 'extra" cap would be used for people 2 even if they had to tap the output from the plex cooling it would be vastly cleaner than what got sucked into the plant.
Trust me (or Google) they will take care of the folks nearby the Plex.

this also is a direct blow to Microsoft since samba is a MS > Linux interoperations tool
and anyway at the rated distance most snipers will have 3 questions for you (after you give them a target)
1 when do i get paid
2 how much do i get paid
3 where do you want the bullet to land (want to blow the bin four finger off a guy ask a sniper)
note snipers tend to be well paid (on time and everything)
